A reflective note pairs Psalm 31 10 with a Dickens quote on chains we forge. The mix characterizes life’s sorrow and self-made burdens alongside literature’s moral tone.
An reader condemns ICC approvals of the C&O B&O and Norfolk and Western merger saying it will reduce coal service, stifle competition, and risk Greenbrier sale or lease. They warn big firms gain at the public’s expense and independence fades. The writer notes limited clout to stop the move.
The piece notes a sharp drop in American prestige since 1960 as citizens abroad face attacks and embassies are sacked. It cites U S forces in Vietnam surpassing 440 000, with casualties near 8 000 dead and 58 000 wounded, and questions foreign aid as futile in earning friendship.
The piece critiques the Administration's credibility from the president down and notes 7000 publicists on the federal payroll as a growing effort to sell the Great Society. It mentions distorted Vietnam statistics and hints at a rising use of computers for career guidance, with a closing quip about Charles de Gaulle's power in France.
Henry J. Taylor argues that Gamal Abdel Nasser and Egypt form part of a broader Soviet plan to outflank Europe and pressure the United States. He warns that Soviet lodgement from North Africa to the Indian Ocean threatens oil routes, shipping via the Suez, and global NATO cohesion, with Vietnam and Cuba as further pressure points.
Russell Kirk argues that proposed gift tax changes would dramatically lower exemptions and raise rates, creating double taxation. He warns that many gifts would be taxed after income tax and urges opposition to measures he calls socially ruinous, predicting broader welfare growth and criminal-justice consequences.
The Nixon era style note reports that President Johnson, at a Waldorf Astoria dinner, privately affirmed U S support for Israel while publicly sticking to a cautious line on the Straits of Tiran. The piece contrasts 1957 Eisenhower commitment with today’s delicate policy.
Russia stages a broad campaign to nationalize U S and British oil holdings in the region. Oil technicians and crews arrive in the UAR and Syria as Moscow backs Kuwait and Iran with new markets and equipment. The move aims to weaken Western influence and shape oil policy amid Arab-Israeli fighting.
Art Buchwald notes FCC rules require equal time for antismoking messages on TV and radio. He riffs on humorous mock spots featuring cowboys, lovers by a river, sea yacht crews, a street fight, and a Hilton lookalike, illustrating challenges for anti-cigarette campaigns.
A satirical piece riffs on public life and fame. It humorously notes how obscurity spares a daughter a memoir, laments unemployment anxieties, and parodies political figures and policies. It skewers pressuring public purse spending and the oddities of cultural trends.
